How does the type guessing and the type system in general work?

For me, a big benefit is the tooling support. If the API is statically typed, I can easily find the headers I am able to set using my IDE. And for setting the date I don't have to check the http spec for which syntax I have to use for

Why would you need anything on .net which already runs on the JVM? Is there any platform where you can install .net but not the JVM? Or does .net have a significantly better performance than the JVM?

I think most Unix commands have a function type which is not representable in haskell, if you don't want to fall back to strings everywhere. So you end up with many functions like ls and ls'. For a shell I prefer a dynamically typ

It is more about weak typing vs strong typing. Clojure has dynamic but stronger typing and it has less of these problems.

I don't see how the Haskell example is more type safe than the Python example. In Haskell you will get None or Just a String. In Python you get an exception or a String. For me that is equivalent, but maybe you have a different definit

Having IDE support is a feature of a language. You have to design your language so that IDE support is possible [1]. Most dynamically typed languages and functional languages fail in this regard and if you use such a language you always are

I always assume that initially there are q voters who gave the average rating. This yields the following formula: (p n) / (n+q) This is simpler and gives similar results: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=plot+%28p+%2B+z^2%2F2n+... ht

I think this is not a good idea. 1. what kind of security properties do you want to verify. I cannot think of one that could not be checked at runtime when the dangerous function is called with actual parameters. 2. turing completeness ha

I am still not convinced that such layouts are good for mobile pages. For example the bostonglobe page wont let me zoom at all on my android phone. This is ok as long as the default font size is fine for me, but I often encounter websites w

I found a page where I could create an account but that account does not work on the login for the docs-page. If they can't even do a user friendly login, how can they make a good document editor?
